.@EllieRand3 (@harvardmed) etal developed a new targeted #Phage Discovery method based on multiple fluorescent markers, allowing for co-culture w/ multiple hosts & visualization of phages — no more selecting only for dominant phages in samples!

New action plan to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) commits the UK to:
🔵 reduce use of antimicrobials
🔵 strengthen surveillance of drug resistant infections before they emerge
🔵 incentivise industry to develop the next generation of treatments

Called last night at 1am about an almost pan-resistant organism.
First time in ages since I've needed to remote in and review all the microbiology at night to formulate a plan.
I wonder if the rest of healthcare appreciates how common these organisms are becoming and the

A few talks that I found inspirational at #microsoc2024 1) Prof Cathrine Rees showing the timeline and hoop jumping of getting a phage product to market. 2)@SophieHelaine - the role of prophage in salmonella persisters. 3)@lucygthorne - her wonderful public engagement endeavour!

I am very lucky to be presenting my poster at @MicrobioSoc 🦠🔬!
My poster is B141! Please come and have a chat to learn all about -
“Bacterial impedance cytometry (BIC): Gaining insights into bacterial stress responses in individual bacteria exposed to antibiotics.”
